Re: Lilypond and midi files

[Alex Loomis]

I know Lilypond can import MusicXML files, so you could import the MIDI into something that can export Music XML (I think Sibelius might work?) and then import the XML file. I'm not sure if it's possible to go directly from MIDI to Lilypond.

Hi all!

I’m  a blind person and I’m trying using lilypond because I find it a really good way for reading good music score using a pc instead of using braille books.

Here is my question for you:

I have a midi file I would like to convert into lilypond notations.

Is there a way for doing it?

I have searched internet but didn’t find an answer.

I would like to convert just the notes and then write all the resto by myself.

The midi file is quantized and it sounds good but how to have a good converted .ly file?

I’ve tryed several other softwares like Braille music editor or other mainstream programs like Finale or Sibelius but  have found Lilypond as the best for writting and reading music using a screen reader.

I’m using windows 7 with a screen reader called NVDA.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for my bad english.

Bye for now.

 

Claudio
